Schneiders® Mosquito Mesh® II Attached Neck V-Free® Adjusta-Fit® Bellyband Fly Sheet

Why It Works When Others Don’t

While other fly sheets focus on larger flies, Mosquito Mesh® is engineered to help protect against the smallest biting pests. Its extra fine "window-screen" mesh acts as a protective barrier without sacrificing airflow, helping horses stay comfortable even on hot days.
1
Mosquito Mesh® Fabric
The extra-fine "window-screen" 350D nylon mesh creates a protective barrier that helps keep out tiny biting insects like gnats, midges, and no-see-ums that can slip through larger mesh fly sheets.
2
V-Free® Wither Relief + Adjusta-Fit®
A V-Free® fit fly sheet covers the withers for horses with a naturally sloped shoulder, a moderately defined and shorter wither. Our original Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to your horse. Adjust-Fit® runs along the neckline of the sheet, so when in use, it lifts the front chest, pulling the blanket up into the base of the neck.
3
SilverTek® Lining
Breathable 70D SilverTek® Nylon antibacterial lining covers the top of the neck, chest, shoulders, and tail flap — the zones where movement and contact can lead to sweating and rubs.
4
Extra Protection Bellyband
Wraps your horse snugly, protecting their sensitive underbelly from flies and midges. With the included elastic leg straps, this sheet stays put through rolling and keeps the belly fully covered.

It is the best fly sheet for my boys who have sweet itch. The mosquito mesh material has been terrific with airflow and great coverage of the body and neck. I have tried them all. Really appreciate the neck and belly design.

This is the only fly sheet my horse hasn’t destroyed in a matter of weeks. It kept him cool during the summer months and was absolutely worth the purchase.

This fabric is actually breathable. My non-sweater wore this sheet with neck and fly mask attached every day last summer in Florida and it held up great. Using it again this season.

Your Fly Sheet Shouldn’t Let Bugs Through AND Overheat Your Horse. This One Doesn’t.

Soft mesh fly sheets drape against your horse's coat. That contact is why they fail: insects bite through the fabric where it touches skin, and heat builds underneath until the sheet becomes a problem instead of a solution. The Schneiders® Mosquito Mesh® fly sheet works on a different principle — and the difference starts with how it feels in your hands.

The 350D nylon is intentionally stiff. That stiffness holds the fabric away from the coat, creating an air gap between the mesh and your horse's skin — the same way a window screen keeps insects out of your house while still letting air through. Gnats, midges, and no-see-ums that penetrate ordinary soft mesh can't reach skin. And because the material stands off the body rather than draping against it, horses in Florida, Texas, and desert climates wear this through sustained summer heat without sweating underneath.

The Attached Neck V-Free® Wither Relief fit was built for Arabians, Quarter Horses, and stock-type breeds where standard sheets create a pressure ridge across the withers. A stretch seam at the neck junction moves with your horse through grazing and drinking — full coverage from ears to tail with no gap where insects get through. The Adjusta-Fit® chest system lets you dial in shoulder width precisely, which matters for the horses that have never fit standard molds.

SilverTek® antibacterial lining covers the chest, shoulders, and tail flap — the zones where continuous contact leads to rubs and skin breakdown. Reflective stripes run along the body for visibility in low light and dawn/dusk turnout, when biting insect pressure peaks. The elastic bellyband seals the underside — one of the most-bitten areas — and keeps the sheet anchored through rolling and active turnout. 40% UV protection prevents coat bleaching for horses in high-sun environments.

Owners who have tried every fly sheet on the market describe the Mosquito Mesh® II the same way, in their own words: finally.

Key benefits

The Fly Sheet With the BEST Insect Protection AND Airflow

This fly sheet is the best for insect protection and airflow. The 350D extra fine “window screen” nylon mesh protects against the widest range of biting insects, such as tiny gnats, mosquitos, and flies. It’s extremely breathable and stays cool in direct sunlight, providing 40% UV protection.

All About the Attached Neck V-Free® Wither Relief Fit

Our Attached Neck V-Free® Wither Relief fly sheets fit the same as our V-Free® Wither Relief sheets but come integrated with an attached neck cover. It’s designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on low to moderate-withered horses. With the larger neck opening and sloped neckline that covers the shoulders, this fit is designed specifically for Arabians, Quarter Horses, Stock breed horses, or those with sloped shoulder conformation. The neck cover is attached with a 15oz lycra that stretches as the horse puts their head down to graze. This stretchy panel prevents the rest of the sheet from slipping forward and maintains coverage no matter the conditions.

Fly Fit Guide

Adjusta-Fit® Your Sheet for the Perfect Fit!

From the widest Warmblood to the narrowest Thoroughbred, our original Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to fit any horse. Whether your horse is wide or narrow or has a high or low head carriage doesn't matter. The Adjust-Fit® feature runs along the neckline of the blanket, so when in use, it lifts the front chest, pulling the blanket up into the base of the neck. It allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.

An Open Front Design with Front Snaps for Easy On and Off

The open front option features double front snaps with new and improved wider hook and loop closures, allowing you to easily adjust the fly sheet for the perfect amount of “snugness” at the front of the chest. Plus, the snaps make it easy to put on and remove.

SilverTek® Lined Chest, Shoulders, and Tail

A breathable 70D SilverTek® Nylon lining has been included on the front chest, shoulders, and tail flap. This technology has proven antibacterial properties that reduce rubs, odor, and irritations that may cause your horse discomfort during the hot summer months. When it comes into contact with bacteria or other microorganisms, the silver ions are released from the fabric, distributing their cell membranes and interfering with their metabolic processes. As a result, growth is inhibited, reducing the number of bacteria on the fabric’s surface. This keeps your horse healthier and the fabric cleaner, even after extended use and wear.

Better Gusset Design for Additional Freedom

The reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow a greater range of motion when your horse gets up from lying down, walking, or playing in the pasture.

Bellyband Closure for Better Protection

The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly. Brass-plated hardware is positioned to avoid rubbing or poking while your horse is lying down, and the t-post hardware on the bellyband closure includes locking bands and incorporates elastic inserts for more give as the horse moves since the proper fit is with the bellyband snug and flush to the belly.

SilverTek® Lined Extra-Large Tail Cover for Extra Protection

The extra-large tail cover protects from flies attacking the sensitive area underneath the tail. The added SilverTek® lining reduces potential hair breakage, keeping your horse’s tail fuller and looking better!

Reflective Stripes for Added Safety

For extra safety precautions, we’ve added highly visible reflective stripes on the flanks and tail for extra visibility in low light and night turnout.

Leg Straps Included

Set the sheet at the optimum snugness with the included detachable elastic leg straps that help keep the sheet in place. They adjust from 20" to 38" and stretch as the horse moves with double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.

2-Year Limited Warranty

This fly sheet has been constructed with extra care and is under warranty for two years. Straps, surcingles, assembly, and hardware are guaranteed for the warranty term.

Reviews

Excellent fly sheet!

"I absolutely LOVE this fly sheet for a number of reasons! I tried 4 previous sheets from other companies this summer, none of which fit my horse properly or gave her enough ventilation. This sheet is of incredible quality and I know will last a very long time. It is breathable which is awesome for my girl as it keeps her protected from the bugs and cool. Absolutely LOVE the belly band closure which makes so much sense for a fly sheet. The best part about it is the adjustable fit. My horse is typically very challenging to fit because of her high withers and wide shoulders, but this fits her absolutely perfectly. I love that adjustafit feature, so much so that I also purchased a sheet and blanket for her as I know they will also be excellent fits. Forever now a Schneiders customer! Love the customer service and quality of products."

Bug free and well fitting

"This fits my big Appendix mare and her neck and shoulders well, no rubs. She gets welts from bug bites and this helps significantly. No welts where she is covered. Very lightweight, great color. No rips so far. I would love if the tail flap was almost twice as long."

— JENNIE L. (5/5)

This is by far the

"This is by far the best fly sheet combo I have purchased. Very lightweight and I love the belly band . The neck piece is fastened so well and the coverage is perfect. It also washes up very well. 5 stars for me on this one !"

100000/10 recommend

"Fits so good, is breathable in the hot Texas heat. Doesn’t rub shoulders or the mane out. And it’s pretty to look at!"

— Jayde O. (5/5)

Love these. Bought 2 last

"Love these. Bought 2 last year and it really allows the mares to stay outside without the fly aggravation. Great quality. The belly band provides comfort for the flies that get under them. The fine mesh allows air flow and keeps the hair coat from getting fried. Bought 4 more for the broodmares this year"

— DONNA W. (5/5)

Thoughtful Design

"I appreciate how well thought out this flysheet design is. There is lining in all of the right places to prevent rubs. I am not worried about the neck cover causing mane loss. The mesh provides good coverage from flys and mosquitos. I live in the southeast and I find that this mesh doesn't trap much heat. As always I appreciate that Schneiders has matching product lines. I have purchases a flymask and fly boots to go with the sheet."

— Sydney (5/5)

Fly Sheet

"Absolutely love this fly sheet. My horse is very sensitive to fly bites and this fly sheet has helped tremendously."

— JAMIE G. (5/5)

My fav fly sheet, worth every penny!

"I first tried this fly sheet on my 17. 2 hh guy who can be tough on his sheets. That was 2 years ago and it’s still in great shape. I purchased 2 more for my 2 girls. We live in the southeast USA and it’s hot and humid and there are a lot of bugs. This fly sheet is comfy for them with the elastic panel between the attached neck and the sheet, and the belly band offers perfect protection and adjustability. The material is breathable. It is my favorite fly sheet by far."

— KAREN A. (5/5)

Too stiff, rubbed shoulders almost raw

"I had high hopes after seeing the reviews, but this fly sheet is terrible. Save your money. It Rubbed our pony’s shoulders almost raw, and deer flies got up underneath it and on top of her butt of all places. This poor little mare worked herself into a lather doing hot laps trying to get rid of the flies that got up underneath it. Thankfully I was home to catch her and get it off. The black part that connects the neck to the blanket also holds a TON of heat."
